the reason the Odysseus theme plays with Hermes there is a mythos reason for that. It was told in the original the Hermes is so reluctant to help him often as possible because they are related. Hermes is his great grandfather so a fun little touch that Jorge added!
Some notes: First of all i love that you said "I have no spoilers" and then immediately go "Wait i mightve heard a snippet of this one" Second, because you mentioned the synth, funnily enough the more magical tomfoolery is going on the more technical elements in the music are there, so Hermes here literally influencing a mortal in what has several times been called an act of "Divine Intervention" of course has a very synth-y basis Third, yup the winions and everything around the wind bag is all always a callback to "Keep your friends close" Great reaction, love this song
@@Namei116 It's weird how nice it is for such a simple song. There's no back and forth, no witty use of instrumental storytelling, just a straightforward challenge and the will to go through it.
Ok though the pause after "Because I had one goal in mind" where the crew is supposed to sing gets me everytime. 😢
it feels so empty without their backing vocals, really gives impact
Me too. I always sing their part when I listen to this song to fill the void.
It's such a simple thing too: It's a call-and-response song, but there's no one to respond
I love how we all just can't help but dance to this song and like everyone just bops their head the same way jajajaja Hermes Supremacy

Great reaction, love this song
its so funny how much of a bop this song is but you gotta go through odysseus reprising full speed ahead alone everytime
I think you're thinking of "Keep your friends close". 7:09
@@argmaker4697 clout floaty song person I think I said.
@@FlippMusic clout floaty song person 🤣 That's one way to describe her song🤣
I think it's the double time acoustic guitar during Odysseus' section for me
The next song is my favorite overall I think out of the whole series
honestly though. I honestly thought it would be my least favorite but I keep singing "HOOOOOLDING ONN" randomly😭

@@Namei116first listen I thought it was really uninteresting but I couldn’t get it out of my head so I listened deeper
Honestly I think this is my favorite song in this saga
This might be my favorite song in the musical.
